The looks featured throughout the Strenesse Spring 2014 ad campaign are at once feminine and masculine. From strict white button up shirts and straight-legged pants to curve-hugging dresses and jewel-tone colors, the looks all have one thing in common: They adhere to a minimalist aesthetic. In fact, if it weren't for the colorblocked backdrop, it could be argued that the Strenesse Spring 2014 collection is almost bland. Instead, the pieces come off as dynamic.
Starring top model Saskia de Brauw, who can currently be seen in the M le Monde December 2013 issue alongside Daft Punk, the Strenesse Spring 2014 ad campaign is rather stoic. The Dutch beauty was lensed by photographer Karim Sadli, who concentrated on both far-off shots as well as closer portraits. Details of the back were also captured.
